Claudio Ojeda transforms one of the most mystical creatures in the animal kingdom into alebrije form. He carves it from copal wood and hand-paints its scales with a combination of linear and geometric patterns in bright yellow, spring green, and blue against a flame orange background.
Claudio learned to craft alebrijes as a young child from his mother. His work embodies her motto - bring the alebrijes to life by painting them with love and care.

"Hauntingly Delightful"
What a delightfully charming way to bring attention to this very endangered species. The Rainbow Pangolin has a place of honor in my collection.

"Bright Owl"
This was a checkout deal that maybe would end up decorating a gift bag and maybe not. It was too good to decorate a bag so I kept it. I love the fine details painted on the back. It would also make a great tree ornament. Thank you Claudio for your beautiful work.

"Another addition to a critter collection"
This artist really captured the essence of the real thing. It looks like one of the chameleons photographed by the biology field researcher who will be delighted when she receives it on her birthday.

This bright orange little fellow is full of character and is brightening my desktop - Id rather have him on display than use him as a keychain! I love the intricate little details and his happy expression. Thank-you!
